ABSTRACT

The purpose of the acupressure device for fingers designed to be inserted by the end of a finger in order to provide pressure stimulation effects with protuberances of the inner surface of the device and to enhance blood circulation effects by producing negative(−) ion. The acupressure device for fingers includes an inserting unit for the end of a finger to be inserted, at one side, a cutting unit in a center of the inserting unit, a semi-circular base unit having a flat outer surface and an inner surface cast into a plurality of protuberances, and two fixing strips at both sides of the semi-circular base unit.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to an acupressure device forfingers and more particularly, to an acupressure device for fingersdesigned to be inserted by the end of a finger in order to providepressure stimulation effects into fingers with protuberances innersurface of the device and to enhance blood circulation effects byproducing negative(−) ion.

[0003] The inner surface of the acupressure device for fingers accordingto the present invention is cast into protuberances, therefore, theprotuberances offer pressure stimulation effects into a finger insertedinside a cutting unit of the invention. The outer surface of the presentinvention is made into flat surface, so that there is no space wheredirt sticks inside.

[0004] Further, the acupressure device for fingers has a control overthe inner space according to the thickness of the fingers of the users,since a fixing strip on the front side of the acupressure device can bepressured hard or slightly.

[0005] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0006] The prior art of the present invention, Korean Utility Modelregistration No. 250633 is an acupressure device for fingers made ofboard of non-ferrous metals. The inner surface of the prior art is castinto a plurality of protuberances by pressing the outer surface,therefore, the protuberance of the inner surface provide pressurestimulation effects into a finger inserted inside the prior art. But theouter surface has a plurality of holes which are made into theprotuberances on the inner side. The holes on the outer surface areeasily getting full of dirt or bacteria.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The present device was designed to solve the problems describedas above. Therefore, an object of the present device is to provide anacupressure device which has a flat outer surface and an inner surfacecast with a plurality of protuberance for creating pressure stimulatingeffects to a finger inserted inside the present device. After a userinserts the end of a finger inside an inserting unit and pressures thecutting unit in a center of the inserting unit and fixing strips at bothsides in order to fit the device to the finger firmly. The protuberancesof the inner surface of the present invention stimulate and pressure theend of the finger.

[0008] The other object of the present invention is to provide anacupressure device for fingers which offers an enhanced bloodcirculation effect to fingers by creating negative(−) ion, since thepresent device is made of nonferrous metals.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide anacupressure device of which the inner space can be controlled bypressuring the fixing strips at both sides firmly or slightly accordingto the thickness of users.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide anacupressure device for fingers of which the outer surface is designed soflat that there is no space where dirt sticks inside.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The present invention is an acupressure device for fingers 1including an inserting unit 10 at one side, a cutting unit 20 in acenter of the inserting unit 10, a semi-circular base unit 30 having aflat outer surface and an inner surface cast into a plurality ofprotuberances 50 at another side, and two fixing strips 40 at both sidesof the semi-circular base unit 30.

[0021] Numerals 100 and 200 refer to a finger and a fingernail,respectively.

[0022] The acupressure device for fingers 1 has a flat outer surface andan inner surface cast into a plurality of protuberance 50 for creatingpressure stimulating effects to a finger inserted inside the insertingunit 10.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a finger 100 is inserted in aninserting unit 10 and the cutting unit 20 in a center of the acupressuredevice for fingers 1 and then the fixing strips 40 at both sides arepressured firmly or slightly according to the thickness of the finger100 to fit the present device to the finger 100 firmly. And then theprotuberances 50 of the inner surface of the acupressure device forfingers 1 stimulate and pressure the finger 100.

[0024] After finishing massaging the finger 100, users can easily pullout the acupressure device for fingers 1 by reiterating just simply theabove process of wearing the present device in an opposite order. Inother words, a user spreads both fixing strips 40 from the finger 100first, and then spread the cutting unit 20, and draw the finger 100 fromthe present device 1.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 6, an acupressure device for fingers 1′, anembodiment of the present invention includes a cutting unit 20′ in acenter of a inserting unit 10′, a fixing strip 40, at the upper centralside of a semi-circular base unit 30′, a flat outer surface and an innersurface cast into a plurality of protuberances 50′.

[0026] A finger 100 is inserted inside the inserting unit 10′ and thecutting unit 20′ in a center of the acupressure device 1′ for fingers.The fixing strips 40′ in the upper central side of the acupressuredevice for fingers 1′ are pressured firmly or slightly according to thethickness of the finger 100 to fit the present device to the finger 100firmly. And then the protuberances 50′ of the inner surface of theacupressure device for fingers 1′ stimulate and pressure the finger 100.

What is claimed is:
 1. An acupressure device for fingers 1 comprising:an inserting unit 10 for the end of a finger to be inserted at one side,a cutting unit 20 in a center of said inserting unit 10, a semi-circularbase unit 30 having a flat outer surface and an inner surface cast intoa plurality of protuberances 50 and, two fixing strips 40 at both sidesof said semi-circular base unit
 30. 2. An acupressure device for fingers1′ according to claim 1, wherein an acupressure device for fingers has afixing strip 40′ at the upper central side of said semi-circular baseunit 30′, a flat outer surface and an inner surface cast into aplurality of protuberances 50′.
